Welcome to this week's Call of Duty: World at War Playoff update! Over 7,500 teams competed throughout the Summer 2009 Season, 64 of which qualified for the post season playoff tournament. Now, only four teams remain! The semi-final matches will take place tonight at 9PM and the championship match will be held this Wednesday. Now, onto the matchups!

The first matchup pits #1 ranked HaVoK against #4 seeded Clan Cleaning Products! HavoK finished the regular season with a record of 133 wins and 20 losses, while Clan Cleaning Products finished 99-13. Both are very respectable records, and both have been backed up by great performances in the playoffs thus far. Clan Cleaning Products had to overcome some adversity in the previous round against the #5 seeded high Xpectations, where the match went all the way to the tie-breaking 5th map. Meanwhile, HavoK has not only defeated all of their playoff foes so far, but have shut them all out of winning of a map.

In the next match, #3 ranked XceL will take on #2 ranked HeLix. XceL went an impressive 103-13 during the regular season, but HeLix one-upped them, going 103-7. HeLix has already suffered scares of defeat throughout the tournament, going to the 5th map versus both #34 DeToX and #10 SLaaP. XceL, on the other hand, is yet to lose a map during the post-season. Still, that's no indicator of who will win the match.

Both of these matches promise to be intense. As far as predicting a winner for either match goes, it's basically a toss-up. We'll have to wait for them settle it on the battleground, tonight at 9PM. Be sure to check back sometime after Wednesday for an announcement on the winner!
